Golden Chinese Dragon

Celebrate Chinese New Year, or explore the country's fascinating art and culture, with this colorful Golden Chinese Dragon drawing.

1.

Look at drawings of several dragons from the Chinese culture. The dragon often appears in Chinese art and as a decoration on clothing, dishes, boats, and other items. Are the dragon expressions friendly or fierce? Are they breathing fire?

2.

On red construction paper, use Crayola® Metallic Colored Pencils to outline your dragon. Include the long neck and expression you found on the Chinese dragons.

3.

Use a gold colored pencil to color most of your dragon. Embellish the design with a variety of other metallic colors as well for scales, claws, and perhaps fire coming from its mouth.

4.

Use Crayola Glitter Glue to finish decorating your Golden Dragon. Dry. It's ready for a Chinese New Year celebration-or to celebrate Chinese culture and history any day!
